Fetal Non-Stress Test & U/S

On Monday morning I went to the hospital to have my first of many fetal non-stress test done. When I walked into the room, the nurse asked me how far along I was. When I told her I was 22 weeks, she looked at me with a strange face. She said, she typically does this test beginning at 28 weeks. I told her that my OB wanted me to have this done and she still looked a bit confused. I sat on the chair and she hooked me up to the machine and the test proceeded. Your typically hooked up to this machine for 20 minutes, and they check the baby's hb and fetal movement. She called my OB and he said he wanted me to have this test done but I would start going every week beginning at 24 weeks. It was so cool to sit there for a good 30 minutes and listen to my son's hb. I could of heard that sound forever. His heart was beating at 155 bpm. He likes to play hide and go seek. Once in awhile we would stop hearing his hb because he had move to another position. The test went great and I have next week off. My next test is on May 18 and than I start going every week until he's born.

I went for my growth u/s this morning and it was so cool seeing him on the screen. He weighs 1 lb 4 oz and is measuring right on track. We confirmed again that he is definitely a boy. I got a few pictures of him making bubbles. He all ready melts my heart and I haven't met him. Here is a picture of him and his bubbles.
